Re: Sphere/Toroid Comparison Chart

Hi guy
I post again the same question: If you look at the chart you'll
see that until you hit 18" of exterior diameter the toroid with a
thickness of 4" have more capacity than one of 6" thickness.
Please could some of you explain to me how a toroid with an area
bigger could have a smaller capacity. I already know that the
surface facing the center ( the hole of the donut ) don't
participated as far as the exterior. But the exterior of a 6"
thick toroid is bigger than the area of a 4" one.
